Don't recall every seeing that, but never really looking for it either.
As long as he gave you some space instead of close passing I don't see an issue.
On the other hand, in my area we have curbside bike lanes on all the major streets and most of the minor ones. I regularly get motorcycles try to split the bike lane and try to pass where there's not enough room. (And don't get me started on the cagers that think a 5 foot wide vehicle will fit in a 3 foot wide lane.)
